MAN – FD102CV-LP-S
General Information
This high resolution Low Profile 10.2” Widescreen LCD is built with retrofit aircraft
integration in mind, this display can switch between three video input sources using an
infrared remote or the control buttons on the bottom face of the unit. It is perfect for cabin
video and graphical entertainment. The FD102CV-LP-S has features that allow installation
in the smallest of mounting areas with the minimum of interface equipment.
Front View
Additional Information
The 10” Widescreen LCD utilizes a state of the art digital video decoding chipset for the
analog video input. The three video sources in order of picture quality are VGA (computer
graphics, like Moving Maps), and two (2x) Composite Video (DVD, Camera or VCR). Both
NTSC and PAL formats are auto-detected.
The FD102CV-LP-S can also be connected to existing video switchers and can take a
composite video input from a selector interface box. In this case, multiple input sources
can be selected and displayed on the monitor.

Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD102CV-LP-S, should be installed on a
non-essential bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker. It is a requirement that a switch be
installed in the cockpit so that the pilot can de-energize the entertainment system should it
become necessary. See mounting specification drawing MSD-129 at end of manual.
Power
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires .3 Amps of power to operate. The unit turns on
automatically upon power application.

Wiring Suggestions
All shields should be grounded to the connector at the source, and floating at the display.
Avoid routing video wiring parallel to:
 AC wiring
 Strobe wiring
 DC motor supply cables
 Inverter cabling
 Or any other potential noise source.
Composite and Audio Wiring
Recommended cable for s-video/composite and audio purposes is PIC 75 Ohm Coax,
P/N V75268. This is a lightweight, flexible, and low signal loss cable which meets FAA
flammability requirements of FAR 23.1359(d), FAR 25.853(a) and FAR 25.869(a)(4).
Similar aviation coaxial cable can be used from other vendors, as well.
Some aircraft are prone to AC noise – we recommend adding to the composite source a
75Ohmvideo isolation transformer such as Deerfield Laboratory, Inc. Part No. 162-1
(www.deerfieldlab.com, [phone]). In most cases this should be added to the video
output of the source.

VGA Wiring
Recommended cable for VGA purpose is ECS P/N 453005. This is a single shielded cable
containing 5 separate coaxial cables, color-coded to match the functions of the wires.
The individual wires should be extended with 6” 22awg wires using an environmental
splice for the red & green wires, and Raychem caps for the blue, white, and black wires.
Power and Ground Wiring
22 AWG wire is recommended for Power and Ground applications.

Troubleshooting
Video Noise
Check for an incorrect ground in the installation wiring. See specific examples of video
noise below, or visit http://flightdisplay.com/Grounding.pdf
VGA Shadowing
Most of shadowing problems are due to shielding on the wire. Locate the point where all of
the shields are connected. Cut away the shields, one at a time, while viewing the display on
the screen to observe which shield is causing the noise. Cutting away one shield at a time
will allow you to focus and isolate the video noise issue.
 Twisted pair wiring is prone to video noise. ECS VGA Wire
(Detailed under “Video Wiring Suggestions”) is recommended.
Snow or Sweeping Lines
Lines that slowly sweep up and down are a result of AC noise. This AC noise can be
generated by a power cart on the aircraft. Take the power cart off of the aircraft. Be careful
of inverter wiring, which can also cause noise. Stand off the wires, if necessary.
If snow or sweeping lines persist, it is possible that the ground is at an incorrect point in the
aircraft. Try moving the ground to another location.
No power to Monitor, or No video Input
• Verify correct wiring. Check the base receptacle connectors for possibly damaged pins.
• Check that the video source is:
1. Powered on,
2. In Play mode, and
3. Displaying video.
Color Distortion
• Adjust brightness and contrast settings using the buttons on the monitor.
Remote Control Inoperable
• Confirm that the infrared eye on the LCD screen is visible.
• Replace battery in remote control.
